How to choose a .info domain name
Struggling to decide on the best .info domain name? We’ve got some top tips to make your website stand out.
Size does matter
Your domain name can be up to 63 characters, but keeping it short makes it easier to remember and harder to misspell. Make sure it sticks in the minds of your customers.
Steer clear of numbers
Using numbers in your .info domain name can be confusing, so it’s best to avoid this. If you need to use a number, consider registering a .info domain for each format.
Keep it simple
A domain name is the first thing people see when they find your site – so keep your .info domain short, sweet, and easy to type in a rush. This will again make it memorable.
Avoid special characters
Avoid characters like exclamation marks and underscores, as these make your .info domain name harder to remember. And if you need to use a hyphen, don’t put it first or last.

Frequently asked questions
What is a .info domain name?
.info is a widely available and affordable domain extension or top-level domain (TLD). Although anyone can use this domain extension, it’s more commonly used by sites offering educational or informational content, such as news sites or blogs. Because of this connection to information, .info domains are often seen as reliable and trustworthy.
What are .info domains used for?
.info is short for ‘information’, so this domain is commonly used for websites that feature informational content (such as news sites, educational resources and blogs). Even if you already have an alternative domain for your main business website, you could also register a .info domain to house important information about your business. This will give customers a one-stop shop to learn everything they need to know about your brand.
Why choose a .info domain name?
Customers view .info domains as a trusted, reliable and legitimate source of information. So, a .info domain name could be a perfect fit for an informational or educational website. Plus, since this is a globally recognised domain, you can easily connect with international audiences and expand your overseas reputation.
.info domains are also widely available. If the .com domain you want has already been registered by someone else, there’s a good chance you could still register your chosen domain with a .info extension. Even if you already have a .com domain for your main website, it may still be a good idea to register the .info version too, as this could help prevent cybersquatting.
How much does a .info domain cost?
On average, .info domains usually cost around £15-£20 per year, although you can get one for just £17.11 per year with us. This makes .info domains super affordable and accessible for small business owners.
Can I buy a .info domain?
Of course! The .info domain name is unrestricted, which means anyone can buy one. People usually buy this domain when they have a site that informs its visitors, but you can even use it for online stores. You may find that a .info domain gives your site extra credibility and legitimacy because of its ties to education.
Is .info domain registration difficult?
It's easy to register domain names. All you have to do is use our domain availability checker. Simply search for an available domain name, enter some details, and you're good to go.
Once you’ve completed your domain name registration, you’re ready to build a website or add an Email Hosting package.
How long can I register a .info domain for?
.info domains can typically be registered for a minimum of one year, with options for multi-year registration.
I already have a .info domain. Can I transfer to Fasthosts?
Transferring your .com domain name to us is easy and completely free. Visit our domain transfers page for more information.
Can you help me find the perfect .info domain?
Of course! Here are a few of our top tips when you're choosing a domain name for your business:
- Protect your brand and register similar extensions (e.g. get your .info alongside a .co.uk or .com domain).
- With social media applications and services like X and Facebook, it's generally a good idea to secure usernames that match your .info domain name.
- Keep it simple. Names that are longer or have hard-to-spell words may lead potential visitors to end up on the wrong website or on a 404 page. Shorter names will make it easier for customers to find you.
Can I sell my .info domain name?
Because we give you full access to your DNS (domain name system) records, we make it as easy as possible for you to transfer your domain names to other people. This means you can easily sell your .info domain if you don’t need it anymore.
